Well said. New Zealand has had a real number done on it over the years. Feels like we've become 'The Emperors new clothes' fairy tale on a mass scale. The majority of Kiwis keeping silent seemingly happy to live under these collective illusions...purely out of the smallest of social pressure.

It's both frustrating and infuriating...and it's getting worse by the day. Such a beautiful country being slowly destroyed by groupthink instead of careful honest evaluating of the real issues. We can't even talk about it! That mindset isn't something that can be fixed by throwing more tax payers money, resources or support into it...it comes from how the majority respond to the foot stamping few.

I totally agree with you, Tina. It's pretty scary when you think about it.

The factual truth should never be called racist. It is what it is. If the small percentage maori get upset - they should do something about it themselves through their whanau, hapu or whatever.

The whole MSM narrative around crime seems to have shifted, very rarely do they report the ethnicity of an offender despite apparently trying to track their whereabouts…. Unless of course they are white. Even more disturbing, I read an article about a German female, raped by Muslim males in Germany, who initially did not identify the race. After the police exhausted all enquiry based on a hunt for a group of white males, the victim admitted she left out their ethnic classification as she didn’t want to appear racist!

How do you fix a problem, if you hide it, or don't discuss the problem openly. Social problems are much harder to fix than say, a broken leg! and need more attention and action.
